I think Von Miller ended up in the end zone concession area after that pass rush.

Lots of back and forth, here. Here’s what I’ll be watching. Motivation is something we talk about without a lot of precision. I think all players find motivation differently. Frankly, I think players are almost all motivated almost all of the time. They’re playing for themselves as well as the team. Teams are composite competitors with individual contracts, bonuses, recognition, free agency goals, etc. With that, we now have 53 players whose coach was just embarrassed league wide. Do they show up in KC knowing there’s blood in the water with a coach they’d like to move on from, or do they show up with the same coach and want to retain him? I’d love to see the Bills perform like “he’s our guy” and have something to prove.

No. That’d be the stupidest, brand jeopardizing, wealth destroying, scheme imaginable. I’m leaving out the impossible to accomplish without exposure angle. “We have one of the most exclusive, century old, billion dollar industries on the planet that works just fine and keeps getting rmore lucrative. I know, let’s risk it by involving unsophisticated operatives like part time working-man officials and pro athletes, many of whom are recreational drug users.” For those that want to exclude league involvement and just bring in Vegas, amend my quote changing century to centuries.

To the learned …. he does a hand punch or jab pre snap. Is he responding to signals being called? While I’ve not exactly charted anything, he doesn’t seem to be “calling” this guy or that as his man … I don’t see it elsewhere as regularly. Gratefulness in advance …

Counterpoint … it’s his football stardom that makes it a story to begin with. The same thing happened in Dallas a dozen times on the same day and it’s not being discussed nationally. Relevant to the facts in the case, no. Relevant to “news”, yes. NFL stardom in the news context is relevant because of stardom’s link to celebrity, not prowess. We can await the facts, call this a bad event regardless of the facts, and condemn domestic violence all at the same time. IMHO. Prophylactics, before the replies: “Dozen” isn’t a crime statistic I have access to. I made it up. Further, the fact that domestic violence is not unusual doesn’t make it not terrible.

Blitz … Davis.

Gabe Davis is two people. We will discover this someday. They take turns playing football for the Bills and working in Aaron Maybin’s art studio.

I’ve smiled at a few of your comments on ol’ “jw.”

I’ve lived in Tampa for 27 years and call Buffalo home. Coach grew up and went to school near Philadelphia. I think it was a pretty snarky response from coach. It suggested to me that they have some history.

The re-birth of Shaq Lawson ….

Ed Oliver to the really dumb room, please. Mr. Oliver, really dumb room.

Diggs is not Michael Jordan -

I was thinking that, too. But, he’d have had to call a time out, which was exactly not the plan. I imagine him thinking … “12! Should I, should I?”

Twelve men!

Flag!

so we have a hail mary shot.

We should let them get into xtra point range.

first lead in over two games

stats … Allen, 32 of 106 for 77 yards and 3 picks. Cook, 11 carrie’s for 2,978 yards.

i’d start throwing.

LOL … that play epitomizes the season …

I think the Bills are clearly better in the extra point game.

Interesting insight on ESPN …. Apparently, Josh Allen has a very strong arm and great confidence in it. The result is that he’ll make throws other quarterbacks would generally not try. The results can be spectacularly good, but are considered high risk. Hmmmm … there must be something to it. They’ve mentioned it more than once.

Forgive me if I missed it earlier, but did I just see this is the second time in NFL history with a 15 - 8 score and that the other time was also Bills Broncos?

I remember being disappointed if we had to punt in a game.
